Prep time: 1 hr 15 min
Servings: 6

Ingredients

6 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 yellow onions
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2 inch dice
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly oil an ovenproof pan large enough to accommodate all of the fillets in a single layer.
Stir the lemon juice and salt together, then coat the halibut in the mixture and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared pan. Brush each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil and top with 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. To be certain the fish is done, push a two-pronged kitchen fork straight down into the flesh. If you feel no resistance, the fish is cooked; if not, return the fish to the oven for another minute or two.
Top each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the relish before serving.

Notes

Make it vegetarian by omitting the chicken or subbing in mushrooms.
Include some fresh chopped parsley to add after reheating.
